A bolt from the bloon...

Just spent 4 hours straight in the same position, hunched over a bunch of balloons. It was great. :) Our church put on a community movie night for free in the park. The movie was Bolt. See more evidence of the evening at Simone's blog.

I enjoyed making cool things for the kids. What would have made it better was if there was less pressure to make them more quickly. It was too many, too quickly to sit back and enjoy the look on each face as they got their masterpiece, and by the end I was too glazed over to really chat to them much as I worked. Still, nice to bring some joy.

I managed to create some dogs, giraffes, bumblebees, swords, hummingbirds, hats, jester hats, cats (bearing remarkable skeletal similarity to the dogs and giraffes) and flowers. I think that's it. If I can get hold of a picture I'll post it here.

Edit: Here 'tis! I'm really not that fat though (quite), honest! It's just the shirt is ballooning out...



The back is sore now, but hopefully some kids feel blessed and have thanked God for their night, and so God gets glory.
